Collector Hager to Pay $4,000
Damages for Illegally Seiz-
ing Bonded Opium

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN Francisco, August 26.-Gov-
ernor Bartlett passed rather restless
night. The abscess on the kidney
alarms his physicians, as it is now
likely to burst at any time. When it
does the physicians believe it will be
very difficult to prevent blood
poisoning, which would probably
have q fatal result.
IN THE MORNING.
The Governor awoke this morning
with a headache, and took late
breakfast of egg and milk. AT noon
the headache disappeared, and his
pulse was 76 and respiration 30.
AFTERNOON BULLETIN.
Governor Bartlett's condition is not
so favorable. Late this afternoon he
became very restless and excltable.
His mind wandered at tines, his
words being often unintelligible, al
though he was rational when spoken to-.
EVENING.
At 8 p. NJ. his condition is still I'M
favorable; he has symptoms of ter
rible irritation, usually observed after
an apoplectic attack. His restless
ness has somewhat lessened. His
mind still occasionally wanders.
MIDNIGHT-GRADUALL SINKING.
At this hour Governor Bartlett's
nervousness has somewhat lessened.
He is quiet, but is gradually growing
weaker. 1t is now thought that he
cannot last more than twenty-four
hours.
MoRNNG-NO MATERIAL CHANGE.
August 27, 1: :35 A. M.-News from
the Governors bedside is extremely
meagre. His physicians stated this
afternoon that unless death should oc-
cur or be suddenly imminent, no more
official bulletins would be issued until
"a. NJ. Saturday, but it was hoped
that owing to his critical condition the
physicians would reconsider their ac-
tion. Not so however. No official
announcements have been issued
since 8 P. NJ, but from watchers in the
house it is learned that the Governors S
symptoms have not materially
changed in the past few hours.
2:50 A. M.-GoCD NEWS.
No official bulletin was issued at
A. M. as was expected. 1t is learned,
however, from one of the attending
physicians that the Governor has just
awakened from an hours sleep and
feels much refreshed. Immediately
previous to this his condition had been
as bad if not worse than any time dur
ing the sickness. The indications are
now favorable for rally. Tempera-
ture 80, pulse GA, respiration normal.

Probable Action Regarding the
Railroad Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, August 26.-Congress-

there will be decided determination
on the part of the House to go clean
to the bottom and get at the facts, If
the present commission has not power
to extract the desired information.
